Terminology and Look & Feel Web Client and Client Tools received an updated, bringing them closer together. On top we standardized to OASIS DITA terminology for our object types. ■ Terminology in the product now adheres to DITA terminology. Since the user base of SDL LiveContent Architect is predominantly relying on the OASIS DITA standard we have adapted all user interface(s) to show the OASIS DITA terminology. We used the following mapping: Previous terminology New terminology Master Map (Information) Module Topic Illustration, Graphic Image Template Other (Word, PDF...) Library (module) Library Topic SDL LiveContent Architect 11.0 Release Notes 1 New and changed Note: You will see the previous terminology in configuration files and while developing. ■ In our Web Client we introduced a navigation frame and made the styling consistent with the SDL UX style guide (Carbon 2.0). You will recognize this across all SDL products where it will provide a consistent UI design and branding. A new slide-out navigation pane was added were all SDL products in use will appear in navigation groups with navigation entries inside of them. This slide-out navigation pane will be used to approach the SDL product of your need. ■ Client Tools styling is now also consistent with the SDL UX style guide (Carbon 2.0). You will recognize the same styling from the web client. We've altered icons, the layout of the tree and list views. New third-party software support Support for databases, operating systems and xml editors has been updated. Generally, SDL provides platform support for up to two versions of any given platform to provide more flexibility in how organizations incorporate vendor changes. Typically, SDL provides support for the latest and previous version of a third party platform. This previous version is implicitly marked as deprecated. The following software component support was added in this release Client Software ■ Microsoft Windows 8.1 ■ Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 ■ Google Chrome (release update channel) ■ Mozilla FireFox (release update channel) ■ JustSystems XMetaL 8 and 8 Japanese ■ JustSystems XMetaL 9 Note: There are no plans known for a 9 Japanese edition. ■ Arbortext Editor 6 ■ <oXygen/> XML Author/Editor 15.2 (32 bit only) ■ <oXygen/> XML Author/Editor 16 (32 bit only) Server Software ■ Microsoft Windows 2012R2/x64 SP1 ■ Oracle RDBMs 11.2.0.4 ■ Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1 2 SDL LiveContent Architect 11.0 Release Notes New and changed ■ Java Runtime 1.7.0_21 (64b) ■ Powershell v4.0 (part of Windows Management Framework 3.0 ) Client Tools Usability Improvements Some Client Tools usability improvements explained. New installers ■ We now have .MSI installers per XMLeditor and no longer per editor version. They will detect and offer you a selection on which version you want to install. ■ All .MSI files (and assemblies) are now signed by our legal entity certificate SDL Trisoft. This avoids the yellow User Account Control (UAC) message indicating that “The publisher is unknown”. ■ The matching ClientConfig. xml was extended and also received a new condition name ClientEdition to distinct the regular JustSystems XMetaL 8 (8.0-CRCL) with the Japanese JustSystems XMetaL 8 J(apanese) (8.0-J-CRCL) XML editor as their executable file name nor version differs. Menu option 'Duplicate' The menu option Duplicate will show up in the folder view and allows you to make a copy of the select item(s). These items can be topics, maps, library topics, images and other (PDF, Word,...). We've also added several Locate in Repository menu options to allow easier navigation to this new functionality. Similar to other batch functions in the Browse Repository dialog like import images, batch metadata,... the properties dialog will only be raised when required. The title of your object will be concatenated with a sequence number like (1), very similar to a New Folder experience on Microsoft Windows. The main difference of Duplicate compared to existing functionality Check in as is that you don't have to go over a Check outor Viewoperation into your XMLeditor. Proxy server authentication support Client Tools render the preview and comments using a browser control. The browser control potentially used to raise an Authentication Required dialog for proxy server authentication next to the standard Client Tools control Connect to .... The credentials from the Connect to ... control are now automatically pushed into the browser
